About three million Americans have chronic Hepatitis C, a liver disease thats the most common condition leading to liver transplantation in the US Although Hepatitis C is treatable, the standard 48-week therapy only cures about 40% of patients, and its side effects are notoriously brutal and very difficult for many patients to endure. But a new Duke University Medical Center study finds adding a new anti-viral drug to the standard therapy can cut the length of the treatment regimen in half, while curing more patients. Lots of people have side effects- they feel like they have the flu, a third of patients get depressed, so its not easy for patients. So being able to reduce the duration of therapy from 48 weeks to 24 weeks is really a significant benefit for patients. Renee Webb is a nurse and mom who received several accidental needle sticks back in the 1980s. She was diagnosed with Hepatitis C seven years ago, but waited to be a part of the study instead of having the standard 48-week treatment. I just dont think its something that I could have done. You really have to put life on hold for a year, and I just wasnt willing to do that with a 2 year old and a 6 year old. The study drug is telaprevir, an experimental compound that blocks an enzyme that the Hepatitis C virus needs in order to grow. Not surprisingly, about 40% of patients in the study who received the standard 48-week treatment were cured, but cure rates were significantly higher in patients who received ...

www.HepatitisForum.Net - Why am I so itchy? Chronic itching from Hepatitis C and it is sucks. Itching is a common symptom experienced by people with hepatitis. In small surveys, anywhere from 20-50% of people with chronic hepatitis reported itching as a symptom of their disease. The medical term for itching is pruritus, and there are many different causes for this symptom. For some, this symptom is a minor annoyance. However, those with intense itching can experience nervousness, anxiety, irritability, and sleeplessness that disrupt their normal daily activities. There are a number of reason why people with chronic hepatitis experiencing itching. One such cause is the buildup of bile acids. When bile acids are abnormally high, they are deposited in the skin and often cause intense itching. This form of itching is usually generalized, meaning you itch all over rather than in just one or two areas. As a rule of thumb, the higher the bile acid level the more intense the itching sensation. There are also a number of hepatitis-related skin and systemic diseases that can cause itching. Examples - http

This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Today we answer a question. Vu Quang Hien from Vietnam wants to know more about hepatitis B. Hepatitis is the name for a group of viral infections that attack the liver. These are called A, B, C and so on. An estimated two billion people are infected with hepatitis B. The rates are highest in China and other parts of Asia. The World Health Organization says most of these infections happen during childhood. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with infected blood or other body fluids. Mothers can infect babies at birth. Unsafe injections and sexual contact can also spread the virus. Experts say it can survive outside the body for at least a week. There are two forms of hepatitis B -- acute and chronic. Acute cases last for several weeks, although recovery can take months. Chronic cases can lead to death from cirrhosis or scarring of the liver and liver cancer. Yet people with long-term liver infections can live for years and not even know they are infected. The ones most likely to develop chronic hepatitis B are young children. In the United States, public health experts recommend that Asian-Americans get tested for chronic hepatitis B. This is because most Asian-Americans came from countries with high rates of the disease or their parents did. For acute hepatitis B, patients may receive care to replace lost fluids, but there are no treatments. Doctors can treat chronic cases with interferon ...
